The Carnival is Coming to Cañon City!

Four Days of Family Fun Arrive August 13–16, 2026

Cañon City, — The wait is over—the carnival is coming to Cañon City!

After months of searching and working behind the scenes, the Cañon City Music & Blossom Festival is excited to announce that Amusement Midway Providers, Inc. (AMP) will be bringing a full carnival experience to Cañon City August 13–16, 2026.

We know many members of our community were hoping to enjoy a carnival during Blossom Weekend. While we weren't able to make that happen this year, we didn't want to wait another year to bring this experience to Cañon City. We kept working to find the right carnival provider, and we're thrilled that AMP said "yes!"

The carnival will be located at the top of 9th Street at 9th Street and Elm Avenue—the same location many residents remember from years past. And contrary to popular belief… YES, there is still plenty of room!

Now it's our community's turn to show AMP why Cañon City is such a wonderful place to host family entertainment! A strong turnout this year will help demonstrate that Cañon City supports quality events and could pave the way for the carnival to become a returning tradition.

Families and friends are invited to enjoy four days filled with exciting rides, classic carnival games, delicious fair food, and fun for all ages.

We are incredibly grateful to Amusement Midway Providers (AMP) for giving Cañon City this opportunity. Bringing a carnival to a new community is a significant commitment, and we hope everyone will come out to give AMP a warm Cañon City welcome. Your support this year can help ensure they continue bringing the carnival back for years to come.

Thank you to everyone for your patience, encouragement, and continued support while we worked to make this happen. We can't wait to see the midway filled with smiling faces, laughter, and memories made with family and friends.

Mark your calendars, gather your family, invite your neighbors, and join us August 13–16 for an unforgettable weekend of carnival fun.

We'll see you on the midway!
